came good
We came back and that's something I feel good about. We never give up.
everybody games guy players
We have a lot of games to go and not that many players in camp. Everybody will get a legit chance. The guy who can pinch-hit and play once in a while, he will take the job.
guys hurt ready stay
When you're hurt physically, you can recover. When it is mental, you don't know when it is going to show up and you don't know when it is going to stay at home. Mentally, we need guys to show up every day. I don't know if he's ready to do that for the team.
grab team
We have to have someone grab this team by the neck, by the horns, and take charge.
throwing
To me he wasn't throwing good, ... So that's why I went to go get him right away.
drives four hero manager needs runs somebody step tonight
We're up by four runs and then we're up by one run. It drives the manager crazy. Rowand had a big night. From now on somebody needs to step up and be a hero every game. Tonight it was Rowand.
bullpen good great pitching series starting winning
We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.
besides guy helping humor hung people quiet shy
Vlad is a quiet guy around people he doesn't know. Besides being his coach, I was his interpreter and I was helping him off the field, and we pretty much hung around a lot when we were playing. I think Vlad got a lot of sense of humor and he's just shy around people.
bat help swing team
We have a better bench, a better rotation, and having Thome swing the bat the way he is now, he'll really help our team. But when you win the world championship, you can't say this team is better. That's not fair.
five four guys hopefully maybe pitch rest sit sneak talk
We will sit down and talk and right now we're not in a six-man rotation, ... It's not easy, but it will be a real interesting talk. Maybe the guys want to pitch with five days' rest and not four and we can sneak him in and hopefully he can pitch the way he is.
bases game hitters loaded won
We had the bases loaded and we should have won the game right there. The hitters got to be better in the stretch. It's not going to be easy.
best bring charlotte help leagues minor ready team
We have to bring the best from the minor leagues to help this team play, ... If they're not ready to play, then they'll have to go back to (Triple-A) Charlotte to learn.
babe dumb trade
We weren't dumb enough to trade Babe Ruth,
pitch
We were one pitch to get out of the inning, and we didn't get it done.
